I make many connections with zero solder.Just twist the wires together an crimp together with visegrip pliers. Dribble some hot glue from a glue gun on the wire for insulation if you wish.

I should of thought about some of those curly questions myself!! Looking forward to some answers. Anyway here is my most recent experience with my Beck CS/zapper. I had actually reduced my silver electrodes or one of them, to the thickness of a hair. I had Hauser Miller send me somE 99.99 (I HOPE IT IS 99.99 SILVER) silver at 14 gauge. And then I had to re-attach them to the Beck wires and I'm not an electrical type, but I was warned by the literature not to use solder. Well List/eners I solved the problem sucessfully (boast boast). This might be handy to others when they graduate to new silver electrodes. After visiting Dick Smith electronics store at Gore Hill in Sydney (a sort of Australian Radio Shack type store) they recommended heat shrink tube. So I cut off the old remnants and wound the wire onto the new silver and used the heat shrink tube. Got out my 25 year old multi-meter, and discovered that no VOLTAGE was getting thru. The fact that I actually have a multimeter really doesn't say any more than I did attempt to solder and fiddle with wires and those funny brown boards with the holes in them. But, electonics wasn't for me too exacting but luckily I did learn a little about resistance and voltage. Went thru the whole process again, and it now works well and looks almost like a bought one. I used black 3mm tube for the individual wires and white 5mm tube to finish off the whole two wire assembly. The tubing seems to really grip the wires and silver super tight as one has to cut into it to remove if contact in not gained/established first up. I'm quite pleased with myself, as I was dreading having problems with a sort of jerry built attachment.
